Maybe you guys can shed some light on this. I recently purchased 2 NB buckets and lids as my primary fermenters. I have not used buckets in years to ferment in and cannot recall if they had a seal on the lid or not. The issue I have have is I am not sure if its the yeast or buckets not sealing...

Think this would be worth while posting in the FS section? It's way to large for anything I would need it for. 3/4 hp, 115/230 volts, wiring for lo volts/high volts, 1725 rpm. It has a pump attached to it which looks to be removable what do you guys think? Good for a large home brew set up...

Well I finally took the plunge again and started brewing. I don't think I've brewed in over 4 years. I am making a cheap kit beer right now but next on the ticket is Eds Haus Pale Ale. I have some apfelwein going and some rice wine also. So cheers to brewing again!!

This is not my first rodeo with hops. My last plants where 3 year olds when I "lost" them! Basically a move from FL to VA and from VA to FL while I was on a 6 month deployment my 4 plants never made it. I suspect they are taking over some landfill or still at our old rental house where I last...

Well first off I grew a hop garden last year in North FL and had pretty good success only had one plant die and the rest all had a fairly decent yield at the end of the season. Had problems with june bugs and mites though but they still produced Hops. Im in the navy and got orders to...
